Hi,
please remove grub-invaders (src:invaders) from the archive.
It relies on a Legacy BIOS to start, and since this has been entirely
replaced by UEFI since at least 2020, it's not useful on actual
hardware anymore (#1107639). While it's still possible to start it in
an emulated PC e.g. through QEMU, I don't think it should be part of
the next Debian stable releases anymore.
It was fun to hack on this, but now it's time to say "goodbye".
